Cherrie Phillips is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and has been practicing since 2014. She practices an integrated approach by using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic modalities to empower her clients to rediscover their authentic selves in order to live in their truth and happiness.
My approach
Cherrie understands and empathizes with the fact that we all struggle and we all deserve to be fully seen, in a non-judgmental space that allows for real self-reflection. Cherrie pulls from emotionally focused styles of therapy to support a therapeutic environment safe enough to explore all parts of yourself.
My focus
Cherrie specializes in working with clients diagnosed with depression, anxiety, trauma/complex PTSD, parent-child conflict, emotional dysregulation, relationship conflict, anger management, parenting, women's issues, and self-esteem.
My communication style
Cherrie takes an individualized approach in order to best meet the needs of her client at the time. Cherrie is an empathic therapist that understands how to validate, normalize and regulate your emotions while keeping you grounded in a sense of reason and logic in order to contribute to learning a deepened sense of discernment and self-awareness.
My journey to mental healthcare
Cherrie prides herself on being a civic-minded, culturally aware therapist, and particularly enjoys working with marginalized populations to guide them in unpacking and healing generational trauma. Insight is the key, it's just not an easy door to unlock.
My goals for you
In therapy, we will explore your passions and desires, specifically, what long-term goals you have for yourself. From there, we identify current barriers to you meeting those long-term goals and break down those barriers into attainable action steps and strategies to increase your motivation to take committed action.
My first session with you
In the first session, we'll get to know each other. You'll talk to me about what is bringing you into therapy, and I'll talk to you about the type of therapist I am. Together, we decide if we believe we have gifts to offer one another in this therapeutic space and decide if we would like to work together moving forward.
